    Link's Crossbow Traing Review

    Link's Crossbow Training comes with the Wii Zapper for $20. While it can be played without it, the game was designed to utalize the Wii Zapper. "B" is to shoot, "Z" is to zoom, and You use the control stick to move. 

    There are nine levels, with three challenges each. There are three types of stages. "Target Shooting" has you shooting mostly targets, with the occasional enemy. "Defender" has you in a stand still and aim around you. "Ranger" has you walking around trying to to kill a set amount of enemies. The latter is my least favorite stage, due to the difficulty of using the control stick and aiming at the same time. 

    The game is set in the "Twilight Princess" universe, so naturally the graphics are the same as that game. The game has good music and sound effects, but neither are memorable. The game's value is great based on the price, but decreased by its short length.

    That's the review. I recommend this game to fans-of shooting games. The "Defender" and "Target Shooting" stages are good examples of how the Wii Zapper would be good for light-gun games, but the "Ranger Stages" do not show good signs for how it will work with traditional shooters.

The Wii Zapper and Link's Crossbow Training are a decent attempt to make the Wii a viable platform for first person shooters. For the most part, the package is solid, and it is made a lot more enticing by its budget price. The Zapper turns out to be a good peripheral for playing a game that is made for it, and Crossbow Training is a fun and accessible dive...

      A neat pack-in game that's fun despite the awkwardness. 0

      Positive: - Zapper is fun to use - revisiting worlds from Twilight Princess is great - most levels are worth re-playing - it's (technically) FREE! -Negative: - Zapper feels clunky and awkward for awhile - only takes about an hour to beat all the levels - Finally, Nintendo has realeased their Zapper controller, and it comes with a pack-in game called Link's Crossbow Training. In the game, you go back to many of the memorable locations from Twilight Princess such as the Bridge of Eldin, City in th...
